I had a hard time deciding what quilt to show. Really I haven't completed THAT many and the ones that I have completed are pretty simple. I chose this one for sentimental reasons.

I made this quilt for my baby (who will be 2 in January). I was just happy I got it finished before his 1st birthday.

I picked out these fabrics for a pinwheel quilt my mom and I were going to make for me. I wanted a queen sized quilt, so I had A LOT of fabric. Since that plan was hatched about 10 years ago, my tastes have changed a bit. I didn't really want a blue and yellow quilt now. But hey! Perfect for a baby boy!

And with that much fabric I was able to make FOUR of these and give the other 3 to several dear friends who were also having baby boys around the same time! I love that our boys all have the same blanket to love.

I strip-pieced this so I didn't have to cut out any individual squares. That made it super easy and efficient when making 4 of them!

My aunt Mary did the quilting on her long arm and it's just a cute all-over stipple (next festival I plan on having a quilt I've quilted myself!)

this is so sweet!!! i love that you made matching ones for friends. that makes is so special. Not to mention how much your little one obviously loves his blankie! i am really looking forward to quilt festival. i am going to spend my whole night surfing it and seeing what wonderful quilts are out there.

Amy, thank you for sharing your beautiful quilt. I love the colors. I especially like the story of your son's three little friends having the same blanket. I'll bet they like that when they are all together.

I'm jealous that he loves his so much. My girls have blankies, but they are the crocheted ones that my mother-i-law's friend made for us. Despite the fact that they have 4 quilts between the two of them!

I was one of the lucky beneficiaries of this darling quilt! We still use it all the time with Grant. So cute. (The quilt. Well, the baby too.) :) Now if I could just have a girl sometime so you could quilt me one of your masterpieces in pink, green, and choc brown. Yes, it's all planned out. :)

I hope somebody has taken photos of the 4 little guys with their quilts -- maybe all together? That would be a Kodak moment for sure & a photo to embarrass them with in about 15 years. Cute story and I'll look forward to the next festival and your next story. Nice work!

Hi I'm a newbie blogger and just found you through the quilt festival. Your quilt is adorable and I can totally identify with what your profile says about the house is a mess and your obsessive creative disorder. I'm going to follow you :-)
